چکیده مقاله:
The problem of path overlapping in network modelling has been one of the main issues to be tackled. Due to its flexible covariance structure, probit model can adequately address the problem. Despite that probit is one of the most appealing choice models, due to the lack of closed form expressions for evaluating choice probabilities; it has not received extensive attention by network modeling researchers. This study is set out to focus on this approach of traffic assignment.Computational difficulty of application of probit model in the large-scale network equilibrium problem has triggered development of some link-based probit network loading methods which exemptthe analyst from generating and maintaining path-flow variables explicitly. The bias of theseheuristic link-based methods has not been studied so far. This contribution primarily focuses on investigation of such potential bias in link-based probit assignment methods. In this research, thisbias for a certain simulated link-based method is empirically considered and investigated throughcomparison with path-based probit equilibrium solution. Capable of representing utility correlation and heteroscedasticity, probit model has always beenone of the most theoretically attractive models for representing route choice behavior. However, this soundness of theory could further be enhanced through combining the ideas of probit and random-coefficient modeling which enables the analyst to capture random taste heterogeneity over travelers as well.
